Suns flogged Cats by 56 after leading by 85 at one point.

How have the crowds and other games been so far for the Asian Cup?

Nice to have the AFL and NRL back. What happened in the Swans game, crazy turn around.

I’ve only seen the Matilda’s matches as the other matches are on pay tv. Around 25k last night at the Gold Coast in the rain for a double header so not bad.

Yeah not sure what brought the turn around about but it was a thing of beauty. 12 goal 3rd quarter & 6 in the last is incredible.

Parramatta got a flogging by Storm which was funny after being talked up in the off season.

Matilda’s won 4-0 over Iran tonight with 2 other goals overturned for borderline offside plus a penalty overturned for handball.

How do you think they’ll go in the tournament?

They’d need to improve out of sight but at the same time hopefully no other sides park the bus like that. The Philippines had zero intention other than to keep the goal difference down as we beat them 8-0 another time we played them. Sam Kerr & Mary Fowler are back from long term injuries, Hayley Raso hasn’t been playing regularly in Germany & those 3 are where our goals should come from. Hopefully they improve game on game.

Just watched the most 1 sided Matilda’s match but it only ended up 1-0 despite us having 85% possession. Terrible match to watch though

Ha yeah same same - the hope is there every year - I went to Tigers Panthers on Friday - best we have looked for donkeys years - and how good is that Makasini kid ? We were sat right behind the line for his try - he was running straight for us - incredible power for a 18yr old.

Oh I know the try you mean. That was crazy strength hey.

I know it’s only PS but any win over Melbourne is a good win.

Lomax sees himself as a centre & that’s why he left SG to join the Eels. They played him in the centres for a bit but stuck him on the wing which I think upset him. But yeah Melbourne think they call the shots & are always the team to bend the rules. I hope he rots in out in the NSW league. I know it’s only PS but any win over Melbourne is a good win.

[peterbread]

I’ve never been a fan of the Eels but the Lomax situation has me on their side. The Storm showing their true colours and going to the NRL like they’ve been wronged is ridiculous. Is he even that good a player for all this mess.

I honestly don’t mind if the Titans do well. I like seeing the Queensland teams up the top. It’s Melbourne I want to see drop off big time for a while. But the Lomax situation makes it look like certain people want to make sure they’re always competitive being in the AFL heartland.

[SB]

Who would have tipped the Eels & the Titans to be undefeated in the pre season trials? I fancied our chances against the Storm tonight but 42-12 I did not see coming. The boys are playing with confidence hey.

[SB]

Titans 24–12 winners over the Dolphins. They scored their 2 tries to get back in front from 0-10 while we had our fullback in the sin bin. Really good performance

Riley Mcgree with a goal & assist yesterday for Boro in a 2-1 win

Mo Toure with a hat trick for Norwhich in his second game. He also scored in his debut for them on the weekend.
